Volkswagen is a German manufacturer founded in 1937 by The German Labour Front, Adolf Hitler's party. The company was originally called "Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens GmbH" but later was renamed to "Volkswagenwerk". What does the word mean?

Volkswagen's origins are not necessarily something to be proud of — after all, it was founded by Adolf Hitler's government. However, after WWII the company proved to be a force in the automotive industry. Their original name "Volkswagenwerk" translates to "The People's Car Company".
